The Confederacy lost the Civil War, but the myth it built afterward never really died. In this episode, we unpack the Lost Cause: the postwar propaganda campaign that recast slavery as “states’ rights,” turned Confederate leaders into martyrs, and helped justify monuments, textbooks, and generations of historical denial. From secession documents to Black Union soldier massacres, Confederate prisons, and the rise of groups like the United Daughters of the Confederacy, this episode traces how a failed slaveholding rebellion was rebranded as noble heritage.

For years, the village of Artigat lived with an absence no one could bury. Martin Guerre had vanished, leaving behind a wife, a child, and a household suspended between grief, duty, and doubt.

The village welcomed him back, but as the household began to settle around him, something quiet and terrible waited beneath the surface. In this episode, we enter one of history’s most unsettling mysteries, where memory, marriage, and identity become almost impossible to separate.
